Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

copper petals? That's even more confusing. Petals of what? The World Flower of Fellowship and Pageantry?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was petal?? I thought that the first time, and then couldn't see it at all, so decided on kettle! Ah well.

I just love the Parade of Nations! All dressed up, smiling and taking video over their heads.

Me too, man.

Man, I remember when I was writing so much about "Former Reublic of" that I dreamed my keyboard came with a FMR key. And then I actually programmed in a shortcut to do that.

Because books.

If you're not paying attention they look like footballs.

Yep. Copper petals. That's what the brit announcers said when I watched the live stream. Also, pay attention to the queen's total lack of interest.

And did you get to David Beckham as 007 on a speed boat yet? Because, WTF?!

Olympians without a country are my new favorite team!

I love the Indy Olympic Athletes. They are hamming it up and loving it.

Also, why is Germany dressed in pink and blue?
